Thanks in
advance, Nigel.
Have you tried TDE R14.0.0 to see if the problem persists on the
latest version?

No I havn't, but as there is no problem with 3.5.13.2 (the new install on the
other machine) it appears to be something wrong with the install on the
machine with a problem.
I have to admit that I have had a terrible problem installing anything on this
machine with an Asus M2N-X Plus mobo, having had to use extraordinary
incantations of kernel options to get the install cd's to boot.
Post install of xubuntu 12.04 and before I installed TDE I had problems
booting because in with the harddrives I had One pata one, and the machine
insisted on loading pata first which screwed up the drive order (sata should
be loaded first). I fixed that in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but had also
removed some packages which I thought may have been responsible for the boot
up problems, mainly pmount, gvfs-backends, and cryptsetup.
Having got it to boot ok I then installed TDE 3.5.13.2 which has been working
fine. Then I gor the usb harddrive and found the plugged media notifier
problem. I actually found it again as inserted dvds didn't bring it up
either, but I hadn't bothered about that as I could simply open the video dvd
in kaffeine.
To try and resolve the problem I reinstalled pmount and gvfs-backends but not
cryptsetup as that messed with the harddive loading order again. I also
compared synaptics package list on the new install with the packages
installedon the machine with the problem, which resulted in me installing a
bunch of packages which appeared to be missing on the machine with the
problem, but none of this has resolved the problem.
I am wondering if some necessary links that TDE creates when installing are
missing due to pmount, etc not being there when TDE was installed, and me
having reinstalled pmount and the other things after TDE was installed is
effectively a waste of time as the the links (if there are supposed to be
any) are not there.
Well that's how it stands at the moment. I somehow think that I'm going to end
up having to reinstall TDE default settings and the desktop to see if that
will resolve the problem.
All the best,
Nigel.
